Triple Tags


Triple tags (called "machine tags" on Flickr and in some other places) are a way of tagging web content with tags having three parts: a namespace, a predicate and a value. For example:

 

taxonomy:binomial=Alcedo_atthis

 

They can be combined with hashtags:

 

#taxonomy:binomial=Alcedo_atthis

 

See Andy Mabbett's blog post about using Triple tags on Twitter.
